Configure Auto-Mail Forwarding

I observed that different web-mail accounts use similar procedures but slightly with minor differences in setting up your mail forwards.

Gmail Forwarding:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=10957&topic=13303

The above link will guide you forward all the mails directly to the email mentioned.

Provide the email as <your_mobee_registered_number>@mobee.in, and the mails will be automatically forwarded to mobee.in

You can also apply filters so that only some mails will be forwarded to mobee.in by following the below link.

Yahoo Mail forwarding:
http://help.yahoo.com/tutorials/mail/mail/mail_access5.html

After this step it will ask for the confirmation code. Mobee will automatically send the yahoo mail confirmation to the email registered with mobee.in

So after entering the code in the yahoo screen, the mails will be automatically forwarded to <your number>@mobee.in

First time at mobee.in

Hi everybody,

I too was the first timer using mobee.in after we just deployed it. It was fantastic experience and we all were excited of the launch. I just took off some time to pen down some important stuff that every mobee user should know to fully experience the services of mobee.in.

I hope you have successfully signed up with mobee and are interested to know more on what you can really do with it. I suggest you to read this article as a user guide.

First things first
Configure ‘mail forwarding(?)‘ settings, so that a copy of your incoming email is sent to your registered number at mobee (i.e 91<your_number>@mobee.in). Mobee processes all your emails according to User-Preferences(?) & Mail-Filters(?) set by you in mobee ‘Settings‘. Any email that passes successfully all the filters will be sent as SMS to your mobile number.

Mobee does all its transactions based on credits(?).

Control mobee operations from your mobile
Mobee provides you with bunch of easily remembered keywords(?) that you can send to mobee number +91 98454 98454 and make most of the essential operations from anywhere at anytime.

Earn bonus credits with buddy sign-up
Did you know that your free credits could never get over? Yes, send all your buddies an invitation to sign-up at mobee.in and on every buddy signup you get 5 bonus credits while your friend earns 20 credits absolutely free.

You can also pull all your contacts from different web-mail accounts and manage your contacts with mobee’s contact management.

Billing Summary & Reports
Free credit users may not worry about this section. But serious & paid users will really find this section helpful. You can always check your usage and credits history in your ‘My Accounts‘. A detailed statistics report of how you consumed your credits will be available and generated for you every month. You can also keep an eye regularly on ‘Blocked Mails‘ that shows all the mails that couldn’t pass the mail-filters and user-preferences settings set by you.

For pricing information & how we charge you can see the pricing chart.
